CWA hosts an Annual Fund Raising Banquet to raise funds for waterfowl conservation in Connecticut. This family fun event features a variety of raffles, live and silent auctions that feature one of a kind artwork and prizes. Hand carved decoys and other artwork by world renowned artists are featured at this event.

Sporting Clays Shoot

Reserving exclusive use of a sporting clays course at a local sportsman club, CWA annually organizes a fun shooting event for its members. Participants compete for prizes in a number of categories and attendance at the event extends their CWA membership for an additional year.

Wood Duck Box Building Day

The CWA and the DEEP's Wildlife Division have been cooperating for years in constructing Wood Duck boxes. DEEP supplies pre-cut lumber and CWA supplies the person power to assemble them. Wood Duck boxes played a large part in the amazing resurgence of Wood Ducks which had become scarce in the early 1900s. Today, they are doing great.

Waterfowl Hunting Training Day

Annually in cooperation with DEEP’s Wildlife Division CWA conducts a Waterfowl Hunter Training Day. Originally intended as an introduction to waterfowling for teenage hunters, the event has become an introductory course for adults new to waterfowling that are looking for information on how to successfully participate in the sport. Its popularity continues to grow at every event.
